The Center for Sustainable Technology Practices (CSTP), an industry consortium, has developed a conceptual roadmap that connects the critical corporate functions of a company with major value chain stages and important sustainability considerations. The Business Strategy Alignment and Upstream Supply functions will be highlighted to show both the utility and outcomes of the use of the roadmap in decision making. The Sustainability Roadmap can support organizations that are either interested in integrating new sustainability considerations into their Business or enhancing existing sustainability-related initiatives. The Roadmap is flexible, may be edited, and was developed such that users can customize the tool for use by their specific organization.
